# SVG to Nametag Converter Walkthrough
|
||||
This guide explains how to use the convert_nametags.py script to generate 3D printable STL files from SVGs.
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
The script processes
|
||||
.svg
|
||||
files and generates three separate STL files for each nametag. This allows you to assign different filaments to each part in Bambu Studio:
|
||||
|
||||
Black: The base/background (3mm thick).
|
||||
White: The Name text (2mm thick).
|
||||
Cyan: The Title/Logo (2mm thick).
|
||||
The script also automatically scales every nametag to a width of 87.80mm.
|
||||
|
||||
### Usage
|
||||
1. Setup Environment
|
||||
Ensure you are in the project directory.
|
||||
`cd /your/path/here/svg2nametagRen`
|
||||
Create a virtual environment (or venv) and switch to it
|
||||
`python -m venv`
|
||||
`source .venv/bin/activate`
|
||||
Install depedencies
|
||||
`pip install -r requirements.txt`
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
2. Run the Script
|
||||
You can run the script on a single file or a whole directory.
|
||||
|
||||
Process the entire drive:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
`python3 convert_nametags.py "/media/unfunny/FREEDOM" --output-dir "/home/unfunny/Desktop/Nametags_STL" `
|
||||
|
||||
Output Structure
|
||||
The script creates a folder for each nametag containing its three STL files:
|
||||
```
|
||||
Output_Directory/
|
||||
├── Jordan/
|
||||
│ ├── Jordan_Black.stl
|
||||
│ ├── Jordan_White.stl
|
||||
│ └── Jordan_Cyan.stl
|
||||
└── Staff Nametags_Data Set 30-01/
|
||||
├── Staff Nametags_Data Set 30-01_Black.stl
|
||||
├── Staff Nametags_Data Set 30-01_White.stl
|
||||
└── Staff Nametags_Data Set 30-01_Cyan.stl
|
||||
```
|
||||
Printing Instructions (Bambu Studio)
|
||||
Open Bambu Studio.
|
||||
Drag all three .stl files for a single nametag into the plate at the same time.
|
||||
Bambu Studio will ask: "Load these files as a single object with multiple parts?" -> Select Yes.
|
||||
Go to the Objects view (left panel).
|
||||
Select each part and assign the correct filament color.
|
||||
Slice and print!
